To his surprise he fouudit had stopped rainin’ already, and promised to be clear. It kept its promise, too, nd before Stewart got down to his store the sun was shinin’ beautifully. Stewart’s luck didn't de- sert him. It was the lm33 by any New York up to date, and when Ste art rode home in the bus that night, he was better known than he was the night before, and the very people who were laughin’ and sneerin’ at him then were praisin’ and envyin’ him now. Twenty-four hours, and fine weather instead ot foul, make a wond- erful difference. Stewart was ‘‘death” on churches, His very stablo *was a church—Dr, Williams’ Presbyterian church on Am- ity str He would all the real estate round a chureh, then gobble up the church, That was his way with the old Dutch church on Niuth street. He played a some similar came before he bought Dy s ehureh on Broadway, a Globe theatre, now Harmgan and Hart’s new place. He bought Gov. Morgan’s resi- dence on Lafayette place. People ren what on earth ]u, hought, it for, Morgan,” said some- body. Stewart,” was the answer, and the answer was right. The Lafayetro place lot was right back of the church, and, havin' got the lot first, Stewart afterward bought the church, and so had a proper-y stretch- in’ from street to street, Once, and once only, did Stewart get into a regular knock-down fight with _anybody, and then with one of his clerks, about what ninety-nine men out of one-hundred would have st openin’ over had in blishment called a trifla, but which Stowart thought involved a big principle It was a rule in his store, anda good rule it was, too, because iu the | 1ong run an absolutely 1 sary o, | that none of the employes should do durin’ business hours, On | morr early Siewart entored his| store and found one of his elerks not only sittin’ don, but leisurely read in' a paper, Stewart ked v to the clerk and shoved the paper was readin' to one side, get a pood look at him.

Claflin was as popular with his men Stewart was u believed as muc 0 uI practic tewart his be- did, only he didu't lief so much. Claflin was always a very unasaum- ’ man, im on this A man md a good point wanted to see Cl lin on some personal matters one mornin', S0 he ealled at the store and asked to | see Mr. Claflin, Ho was referred from one man to another, and was kept busy huntin’ Claflin here and there | for some time. While huntin’ Claflin the main came across several (imes, upstairs and down, nnewhat un- individual, bald-headed, stightly geay, plainly dressed, to whom nobody paid any attention. Havin’ passed him about seven oreighttimes, and not yet havin' been able to find Claflin, the Clatiin hunter went up at st to the somewhat unde din- dual and, stopping him on the staivs, said: You seem 1o have nothin’ to do but togo up and down stai perhaps you cun tell me where I can find the head of the house, if there is any head to it—T mean Mr. Claflin, *“Lam Mr. Claflin,” said the little undersized individual, and the other man wilted. There was one first-class thing about Claflin, He never showed any dif- ference betwoen himsolf and clerks as faras rules wereconcerned, He obeys his own rules just as if he was under ‘em. 1t was against therules, for instance tor any of the clerks to enter by the So Worth streot side of the store, one day i the rain, without brella, Claflin was scen to w f the whole length of his own store, Church street, and get soaking rather than go in on Worth street, and thus violate one of Lis own rega. lations. Stewart’s fight with Claflin wasbitter as Vanderbilt's fight mu. Diew, with | this differcuce, that Vanderbiiv 'uhi Drow were friends once, and that the old commodore kept faith with Uncle Dan’l t1ll the latter old man went Lack on him, Vanderbilt made onc mistake, though, about Drew. He thought he wasn't fit for steamboatin’, and told him s0. *Youdon't understand boats,” said Vanderhlt, “and you'll sink 'em or they'll sink you.” He had to cat his words, though, years after, when the People’s line started, and virt ly controlled the Hudson river. Boor man, the first president of the Hud- m River railroad, opposed the Peo- ‘s line tooth aud toe-nail, Drew rryin’ people then on Lis boats 1 to Albany, while the cars “How can we get you to fare?” asked Buorman “Buy out the Peoples line, said Uncle Daw’l, “if you've got mon- to «y enough Dan'l was always afeaid of | tie would shut his o encver e saw a flash und sl I'his was on aceount of when Lie | torm came on when | some cattie, and he | another cattle hoerd- | Uncle igzhtnin’, W over, dent that b Wer | A in' in catt he was drivin and a companio er, took refuse iua carvi e that was standin’ under a tree.

As the fall months pass away and the rains continne in tte gr corn states, the situation of that staple crop becomes serions.Phere has been ry little dry or pleasant weather yet, up m Novewber 4th, to dry out the corn sufliciently to crib 1t with safety in great bulk. The stalks are more generally blown down than has cver heen known before. Very much of tiie corn has been lying on wet ground | , for more than a month and must be badly damaged. Thousands of acres of corn is on land too wet to drive a team onto, and the outlook begins to bescrious. We are liable to havo snow storms very soon, and a deep snow would rain millions of bushels of corn, work of husking whenever the weather will permit, even if it ust be done in themud. Tt is of vital im- portance to get the short erop of this year saved in the best condition possi- ble. Where corn 1s put in large cribs in its present condition, some means of ventilation should bo proyided ce posts or poles placed at frequent intervals through the crib as it is being filled up will be quite cff ctive ventilators; but it is better to take fence boards and make long hoxcs six inches square, boring holes in them at frequent intervals, then place them in an upright position on the floor of the crib, and ill with corn. If the cob is found to be quite damp, these boxes should be at distan of not more than four feet apart through the en- tire crib.
